9. Christianity IS simplistic.
Washed in the blood of the lamb? Blood, guts, gore,animal sacrifice, mass murder by God and assorted armies, and symbolic cannibalism -- that's Communion. Extremely primitive thinking. Extremely superstitious thinking. That's like saying "If I eat the tiger meat, I will be big and strong like the tiger."

Bronze Age thinking, not adequate for today.

I refuse to be part of a religion whose symbol is what the Romans tortured and killed people on.

Lenny Bruce said in the early 60s, "If Jesus had been killed in the 20th century, would Christians all wear little electric chairs around their necks?"

Good question.
